Hi Andy,
I hope you get this :)
No special steps to duplicate this - exactly as I described to Karsten.
If I put my correct Model ID for TS-450S in the config file as 2003
then run xlog it works OK but the GUI in the
Settings->Preferences->hamlib dialogue shows model ID as 2002.
If I select the model using the GUI as TS450S then the model is shown
in the GUI as 2003, but in the config file it is stored as 2004 and
does not work.
If I select a TS-440S which is 2002 then it stores 2003 in the the
config and my TS-450S works fine!
I tried to send some links to lists of system component version
numbers etc. in the past but all these were bounced so I will leave it
at this for now, but please get back with anything that you need to
debug this.
Sadly we are now in version freeze for Mageia 8 and this will have to
be dealt with as a bug report and update after release.
I was hoping to get a fix for this before now but all my attempts to
contact you failed.

HI Barry,
While the behavior is admittedly strange, it is the way that the
software works. For some reason, it seem that all values are off by one
when the file is written, and changed by one when the config file is
read by xlog, thus everything works.
But it does NOT work!
If a user enters his radio Make/Model in the GUI it puts the wrong
hamlib ID in the config. (correct ID + 1)
That does not work.
It only works with the correct hamlib ID in the config file.
Are you using hamlib 4.0 or 4.1 or 4.2 ??
I noticed it in my case with my IC-7300 (model 3073). It writes 3074 in
the xlog.cfg file, but it works just fine.
I guess the moral of the story is: either don't directly edit the
xlog.cfg file, or understand this behavior and edit accordingly.

Take another look.
Maybe *your* radio works with the next higher hamlib ID?
This has been an issue since hamlib-4.0 was introduced.
